ACTION: Circulate formal Charter on mailing list

HarshPandit: we are meeting Ian from W3C later today to discuss DPVCG so good to mention we have a Charter

BeatrizEsteves: there is going to be a w3c breakout day in march and anyone doing anything in w3c can have a session; the event is online; so if Ian mentions this we can discuss whether to have a DPV session (otherwise we can ask) w3c/breakouts-day-2026

Submit to LOV

<ghurlbot> Issue 353 v2.2 LOV submission (by coolharsh55)

BeatrizEsteves: we have the reply from LOV maintainers which is positive; so we need to create a spreadsheet with all the extensions and metadata for them to use to update the vocabularies; and then we do the same process i.e. send the spreadsheet of updated extensions for them to update in LOV

BeatrizEsteves: maybe we can automate the spreadsheet generation process as well

HarshPandit: should be trivial as we already have this in RDF as well as namespaces in a spreadsheet so we can test with the DPV 2.2 already

BeatrizEsteves: +1

ACTION: Create new issue for LOV management (close #353)

DPV v2.3 release schedule

HarshPandit: Wrapping up the scope today, and will circulate a draft so we have a release end of Jan/early Feb. The next release would then be in June/July.

agree to go ahead with DPV v2.3

ACTION: finalise and circulate DPV v2.3 beta for feedback

New Members

ElenaMolino: working with Beatriz at U.Ghent on automated agreement of policies/agreements which use the DPV and have consumer protection requirements;

MarlinKisia: PhD in U.Ghent with Beatriz in the HARNESS project and working on interoperability of consumer data vaults which requires decentralised infra like Solid pods; https://harness-network.eu/

GabrielaKurteva: PhD in TCD with Harsh also in the HARNESS on legal analysis of different regulations to extract actors, rights, and obligations and to see overlaps and contradictions (using DPV)

MyTerms launch

IainHenderson: IEEE 7012-2025 standard for machine-readable privacy terms ; launching on 28th January F2F in London and as a webinar (https://mytermswebinar.eventbrite.com for online attendance; https://mytermslondon.eventbrite.com for in-person in London, UK)

IainHenderson: event is free; it mentions DPV for implementation

website: https://myterms.info/

IainHenderson: MyTerms is about privacy policies (terms/contracts) being standardised and written from the perspective of the individual. Two types of agreements: one is about the relationship e.g. consumer and the other is about donating data e.g. altruism. DPV is used for definitions and expressing requirements in machine-readable form.

IainHenderson: the standard's implementation will be done by MyTerms Alliance which will have Customers Commons and MyData; there will be a seminar in Brussels at the end of February

JanLindquist: What's the relation between MyTerms and 27560 consent records?

IainHenderson: Some of the information is common; though MyTerms is about contracts rather than consent but the privacy implications are relevant;

JanLindquist: Is 7012 freely available?

IainHenderson: Not yet, but we are trying to have it, or to put the key implementation details via MyTerms

JanLindquist: co-editor of 27560 (with Harsh) which is now about all legal bases rather than just consent so it could be helpful to consider. And 27560 is freely available.

CEN wallets & access control

JanLindquist: working with CEN and EUDI wallet (CEN TS-18297)

discussion on wallets and DPV
